The UNFCCC secretariat joins this year's celebrations of World Environment Day on 5 June by highlighting
the necessity to bring a gender dimension to planning, designing and implementing climate actions in small
island developing States

Discussion on how climate-related adaptation strategies and resilience measures should be featured in
countries’ policies to avoid and reduce the risks of climate-related displacement, with a special
focus on the protection and empowerment of women, children and the most vulnerable populations.

Gender equality is a key component for the new climate change agreement. Gender mainstreaming in the energy
sector is taking place from national policies, to institutional reforms and project development

This salon-style event will demonstrate how women around the world are taking a leadership role in
addressing climate change through concrete examples. It will showcase on-the-ground climate action led by
women, for women.
